A Visit from Aunty England

Aunty Ruth came to visit us this week! She came over the "pond" to meet her beautiful little niece. We have had a fabulous time enjoying the sunshine and having fun!

First, Ruth came with a suitcase full of Christmas gifts for Ada!

Here is Ada with the M&S chocolate coins. She is not sure what they are, but she likes them.Ada loves her new books!

Christmas on January 7th!
Can you tell Ruth and Paul are related? :) ....just a little.
On Thursday we took Aunty Ruth to the park to play.

I just love this photo of Ada. It looks like she is running to go down the slide.

On Friday we took Aunty Ruth to the Santa Barbara Zoo. Ada LOVES the zoo. (We got a pass so if you want to go with us just let us know! I can get one adult in for free. Kids under 2 are free.)

This porcupine .....
.....made Ada go crazy. She loved them!
Very interesting.


We took a picnic lunch and ate near the lions.
Ada did lots of Tupperware reorganizing while Ruth was here.

On Saturday we took Ruth to Farmer's Market. Ada brought her new wagon along.

We ate some yummy tangerines.

On Sunday we worshiped at Reality and went to Ojai in the afternoon. We got to hear some crazy drumming and hula hoop dancing.

We also got to sit in crazy traffic on the way home!
Thankfully Ada slept.
On Monday we went to the beach and cooked a LARGE artichoke so Aunty Ruth could try it.
And then we got Jim & Rob's garden burritos and took them to the beach at sunset.
Ada did NOT like the sand!
She was way too distracted by the birds and dogs to eat any of her dinner.



We had a wonderful week with Ruth! I will post more photos next week. There are still a few on my camera from our trip to Santa Barbara.

Happy Birthday Uncle John! We love you!
We hope you had a great day!
